It was all reminiscent of 1966, when John Lennon said the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. Beatle records were burned in several Southern cities.

A rather pathetic comparison with a purely politcal motive.

I like the false comments about "free speech". For the Left, "free speech" means "consequence free speech". And there is no such thing.

That whole Beatles thing is the biggest straw man of the year. When Lennon said they were bigger than Jesus, he wasn't bragging about it or trying to diss Christianity. He was making a cultural statement. At the time, they were bigger. He was actually rather astonished about it.

Maines et al, on the other hand, were just plain being typically bigmouth frog leftists. They knew darn well what they were saying, and meant every word exactly as spoken. Bites on the posterior, dunnit girls?
